‘The most good you can do for yourself spiritually is to live your life with total love, conviction and purpose.’ - Deepak Chopra
I have just recently celebrated my birthday as some of you know and it got me thinking about birthdays and how, in effect, they are a chance for us to show people we love them.
There’s a whole feel good factor in a birthday celebration.
I have loved for as long as I can remember celebrating birthdays - be it family, friends, work colleagues, the cat, the dog and any other family pet that bring us joy and an excuse to celebrate!
It’s very much a celebration of life - after all we are born on this day.
So embrace your deservability to celebrate your birthday.
To love and be loved is what ultimately makes life worth living.
Let all that we do be done in love.
When you love what you have - you have everything you need.
And living in love, gratitude and forgiveness is the ultimate miracle worker and the bedrock of a spiritual practice and the way to open your heart.
It’s an internal connection.
That’s what a spiritual connection is.
Nourish it.
Love really is the answer.
Love can build professional relationships too.
Bring your heart into everything you do.
Love is one of life’s greatest adventures.
The meaning of life is to find your gift.
And the purpose of life is to give it away - which is why I teach the work I love.
‘The secret to living well and longer is: Eat half, Walk double, Laugh triple and Love without measure.’ - Michelle Obama
However, we can get so caught up in our minds with technology that we can forget our capacity to live in love.
So I now take time out and book heart meetings with myself.
I hold my hand over my heart tenderly and listen to its beating.
I take a deep breath and say, ‘I hear you, I understand’ and I say thank you.
Try it.
You’ll feel more loving, peaceful and calm.
Doing a loving kindness meditation is another way you can connect to your heart and others while you are in your own healing space.
As you sit in quiet reflection, imagine a bright light full of love and peace surrounding you, growing larger with each breath and then picture this energy slowly moving out to envelop your family, friends and colleagues holding them in this space of love.
You will find that by doing this meditation you feel a deeper connection to those in your life.
The Universe is abundant.
Prosperity is all around you.
To experience it, all you have to do is shift your focus and see what was there all along.
When you have an inspired thought, act on it with your heart.
‘Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.’ - H. Jackson Brown Jr.
There is usually something you love in that job, that person.
Today, take a moment to think about that love and carry it with you for the rest of the day……
You’ll feel it in your own heart when you’re kind.
The positive feeling that comes from truly connecting with someone.
Love cannot live where there is no trust.
‘The worse part about being lied to is knowing you weren’t worth the truth.’ - Jean-Paul Sartre
So tell people you love them regularly.
You cannot tell them enough.
The energy of your words carry tremendous power and weight.
Visualising our interconnectedness with family, friends and colleagues binds us to those in our lives in a nurturing and loving way.
‘Integrate what you believe in every single area of your life. Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody else too.’ - Meryl Streep
By transforming your feelings into ones of love and peace today - you will create a connection to people in a way that is positive and healing.
Just love, love, love and you’ll be so happy, healthy and prosperous.
Have a beautiful and peaceful day and a wonderful month ahead and a year of birthday celebrations to love.
Namaste
